This is pretty silly ...

Actually, you can't blame this one on me - my friend Christin sent me an email with a pirate joke in the header, one that was worthy of my father. Those of you who know my father can vouch for how corny his jokes can be. I went looking for one to send back, and instead found this post on a pirate website that was just too good to break up. It reminded me of my rp group, because we often break down into pirate mode - it's a long story. To honor the pirate in all of us, I post it here. So please enjoy. Arr.

GREAT ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND - THE TABLES (PERFECT POP RECORDS)
You're deep in the Forest and you don't know how to get out
(Can't move or walk about)
You're Cursed by the Hag
and it doesn't help to scream and shout
and you lost your Lance in a fight with a horrible Ghoul
(You don't learn this at school)
The fact that you forgot you got a Shield
made you look a fool
And the Princess is far away
You're in a nasty predicament

The jolly little Dwarf runs away as the Giant appears
(He's back after so many years)
And the Knight on your right
he's collecting Bears
With a Biff! Bang! Pow! and a Spell and a Unicorn
(I wonder how they are born)
The Portal of Power breaks down
you're in the danger zone
And now you're in the Valley of Fire
"I think you need a Talisman..."
